Joseph Cornelison’s film is a one of a kind merging of horror art house and grindhouse. Less horror film and more character study. The film is essentially the internal narrative of a girl named Claire. She is an ex-werewolf selling a mind altering drug as she comes to terms with her nature as a wolf.
Beautiful images mix with voice over dialog and a disjointed film which is not so much a narrative but a journey into the soul of heroine. If yu are in the right mood this is hypnotic trip.
Cornelison is on record as saying that he know that the film is not going to be for everyone, I suspect anyone wanting a straight forward conventional horror film is going to hate it. At the same time if you are open to it, and seeing in a situation where you will have no distractions, this film is going to become a favorite. As I said at the top this is a one of a kind film, made over four years by people who are not normal filmmakers this film doesn’t feel like anything except itself. Yes there are bits of art films in here and of course visceral horror, but how Cornelison mixes them together makes the film something you take to heart.
You will forgive me if I don’t say a great deal about the journey, but this is a trip across a person’s psyche and what I felt is not going to be what you do.
If you are willing to give a film a chance to do what it is going to do and go for the ride I recommended WULVER’S STANE
